Wonderful! I couldn't ask for more
Chrissy has looked after our son since he was 13 months old. He is now over 3.5yrs old, and we are reluctantly leaving due to moving out of the area.
I wish we could stay (or take Chrissy with us!).
It has been wonderful to see our son go from non-verbal to chatting about his day and all the varied and engaging activities he's been taking part in. Chrissy does so much with the children, for example: baking, gardening, trips to the zoo, parks, Heath, museums, rhyme times, ballet, city farm, not to mention the arts, crafts and other educational activities in her home (which is set up like a mini nursery).
Chrissy had continued to improve her setting over the years we've been with her, for example improving the outside space. She is also proactive in buying or making new resources to support the growing interests of her children (for example putting solar system pictures up for our son).
We found Chrissy by accident (when a nursery place fell through), and now I couldn't be more grateful for that twist of fate.
With no family locally, Chrissy has been a huge part of our son's early years. We will be forever grateful for the love, care and devotion she has shown at all times. Chrissy will be remembered fondly and missed enormously. If only we didn't have to move.
